Politician

A politician (from Classical Greek πόλις, "polis") is a person active in partypolitics, or a person holding or seeking office in government. In democratic countries, politicians seek elective positions within a government through elections or, at times, temporary appointment to replace politicians who have died, resigned or have been otherwise removed from office. In non-democratic countries, they employ other means of reaching power through appointment, bribery, revolutions and intrigues. Some politicians are experienced in the art or science of government.[1] Politicians propose, support and create laws or policies that govern the land and, by extension, its people. The word politician is sometimes replaced with the euphemismstatesman. Basically, a "politician" can be anyone who seeks to achieve political power in any bureaucratic institution.
